The Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) has been designed to create an environment in Maine where assessment in Arts education is an integral part of the work all arts educators do to deepen student learning in the arts. MAAI includes professional development opportunities, regionally and statewide, to share and expand on arts educators knowledge and skills. Teachers will be invited to contribute tools, resources, and examples of quality assessments and supportive standards based curriculum documents for all to access.
Each webinar will be recorded and added to the MLTI Archives for future viewing. Information on where the archived webinars will be posted on the MDOE arts ed webpages at http://www.maine.gov/education/lres/vpa/assessment.html I suggest that you attend the webinars with other teachers and follow-up with a discussion about applying the information in your school/district.
